Those trucks look mighty familiar, Ray.

Anyways I finally got the chance to test the trailer plug on my truck and it worked out with our new (to us) trailer.

And I took my quad out for a quick spin. I need someone to go riding with... I miss riding. The only crappy part is that after I get back in my truck I want to throw it around corners like I throw that quad around but that just isn't gonna happen. Makes the truck feel like a boat.

Not that big a deal. I'm dreading doing them on our 06 because 5 years later the inside duals have never been off it. They're really bad too. They've been worn out for probably 2 years now.

Torches + tires = bad.

Tire Explosion - YouTube

Edit: This is the video I was originally looking for.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBUVzgCHHuA

To summarize: Chemical reaction can start in the tire when heat is applied. This creates heat + extreme pressures. My father is missing a few teeth from a tire blowing up in his face. I don't want an incident of "Like father like son" so I'll spend my time with a hammer and penetrating oil...
